Rotel brand tomatoes and chilies are a very popular staple in Southwest Louisiana. That brand of tomatoes is used in so many Cajun dishes, that many of us just say add the Rotel....To define, Rotel is a 10-ounce can of diced tomatoes and green chilies, packed in its own juice. It is sold as mild in a green can although that version is nicely spicy and two different red cans where you pick your speed of HOT. It is used in recipes, never by itself. If you can't find the Rotel brand just look for a product that has diced tomatoes and green chilies.
Ingredients
4 to 5 chicken breasts
1 pound angel hair pasta
1 pound Velveeta cheese
1 stick margarine
1 medium onion (chopped)
1 can Rotel chilies and tomato
Directions
Boil the chicken in water to which salt and pepper has been added. Cool.
Boil the pasta in the chicken broth. Chop the chicken and mix with the
cooked pasta. Do not drain the pasta completely; leave some broth to add moisture to the dish. Chop the onion and saute in margarine. Mix all ingredients together in a 9 x l3 inch baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for several minutes, until the cheese melts.
